Quarantine supper tonite... Live from NYC...
Today was a warm 80°F and humid... a reminder that summer is still with us here in the Big Muggy Apple... tomorrow the temps dive into the high 60’s with rain possible and by Sunday will hover near 63°F as the cool air arrives from Canada.
Found teeny little Brussels sprouts growing on the stalks of my plants in the garden... they’re so small but have time to get bigger as fall weather encourages their growth. Incredible how they grow right out of the side of the stalk underneath the rosette of leaves at the top providing shade and protection as they get larger.
Had an invader in the greenhouse this past week and couldn’t catch the little thief... a cricket found his way in... probably when I left the door open during watering and pruning... and was munching away on the tomato leaves... turnip greens and generally making himself a nuisance. Today I saw him against the wall of the greenhouse resting on a tomato leaf... the hubs caught him and we released him into the wild to find his own food and stop scrounging off our labor! 😂 He flew off into the neighbors yard... so glad to see him GONE... what a muncher!
Tonite’s supper Greek Chicken Stew with Cauliflower and Kalamata Olives by Martha Shulman... so delicious... the taste of the cinnamon against the acid of the vinegar is mind blowing... used the leftover grilled chicken kebab meat... added eggplant, since we had them... why not... and used fresh tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes... such a simple recipe... but the taste complex and warming. Served with whole wheat pita... the hubs must have loved it... he ate four bowls! Needless to say... will make it again.
How was your day? What’s on your plate? Thoughts?
